TV Actor and Host Says Shen Yun ‘Is Perfection’

March 12, 2014

COSTA MESA, Calif.—“It’s amazing, the show is fantastic,” said Rodolfo Jimenez of the Shen Yun Performing Arts show he saw on March 11 at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. “Every performance [piece] is really different, … it’s colorful, and I’m really enjoying it.”

Mr. Jimenez is a television actor and host, who has appeared in numerous Spanish-language TV series, as well as in The Real Housewives of Miami.

“Let me tell you something, when we are in the business, it’s even harder, because we’re criticizing every single detail,” he said. “But this is amazing. Everything has been put out there on a 100 percent basis; it’s perfection. It’s amazing, that’s all I can say.”

A Shen Yun performance consists of several short dance pieces, each telling a story or portraying some element of China’s traditional culture. As the website explains, “Through the universal language of music and dance, Shen Yun weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales, taking you on a journey through 5,000 years of Chinese culture.”

Mr. Jimenez felt he gained new knowledge about China’s culture from the show.

“I’m learning a lot about the culture of [China], I’m learning about how amazing [the Chinese people] are,” he said. “And I’m just enjoying it.”
